"If Tears Could Build A Stairway"
If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times
life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today~
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.

Lots of Love to you Aunt Kelly, Uncle Larry & Nick!

Larry and Kelly,
We are so sorry about what happen to Ryan. We don't have to tell you what a kind young man he became and how much he was loved by everyone who knew him.
Ryan and his brother, Nick,were so close to our children for a lot of years, this is like losing one of our own children.
So understand we truly know what you are going though. Our thoughts are with all of you during this time.. also know how much he was loved by us and will be missed everyday.
